I live in Madison with a cat and a Newfoundland and run a couple Airbnb’s and build gardens. Learning about electric motors, electric transportation systems, and what can be done to reduce deforestation in the developing world. I’m learning Portuguese and Spanish and I play percussion instruments. Capoeira is my favorite pastime.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

its been a long time since I’ve used Couchsurfing. Connecting with people, sharing stories and knowledge are things I value greatly. Love talking about art, history, technology, exploring new cultures and traditions.

Previously couchsurfed with an Elder Craftsman in Rotterdam, 5 art students in Florence, 1st time host in San Diego: Farm Community in Kalamazoo.

Interests

Love to dance and train capoeira. Also building the post-industrial age, bending the rules, following dreams, helping people find things, learning what other people love.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been the 1st couchsurfer for 4 different hosts. Studied at Stanford without being enrolled. Hiked into the Kalalau valley in 4 hours, then hitchhiked out by inflatable raft out the same day. Started an internet company with 130 people in 1 weekend.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would like to meet fellow musicians and dancers, explorers, and inventors, cooks and teachers. I can teach percussion, singing, salsa, kizomba, capoeira, and a little about technology.
